Winter people, best places to look for waterproof winter boots that won't die in 2 years? REI store was sad, I've got weird feet (sizing anywhere from 8.5 to 10 depending on toe box. I have flippers.) don't really have patience for returning shit,

See if anywhere sells Blondo boots, sarameg. I don't know what the hell they do to them, but mine were walk ankle deep in slush and stay bone dry waterproof for a long time. I neglected them though and I do have to treat them now. This is winter the beginning of their 4th winter, and they are still pretty good.

The status is NOT quo.
Thanksgiving is reborn! I just made a super easy and really delicious leftover casserole. YUM. Clean fridge and food for a couple more days.

Oh, those are pretty, but I'm pretty much looking for utilitarian boots to get to the Y with dry feet and shovel snow. Pretty not a requisite, but easy pull on is.

I started heading towards bed. WW3, feline edition broke out. I don't think they are actually battling each other, just racing around the house, up and down the stairs, in the bathtub, across the spare bed, my bed, into the radiator cabinets and out, banging the doors, down the stairs, through the kitchen...oookay.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Sometimes a cat's gotta tear around the house at high speed for no apparent reason. Part of the feline code.

I have got to go to sleep. But I've made no food for Grace for tomorrow nor have I done the dishes. Nor have I finished grading.
Welcome to the trifecta of laziness.
I'm having a super hard time at my new job and I'm battling buyer's remorse. This will pass, but in the meantime, I have to put my Big Girl Pants on and just get through it. Grump.

I wish I could come do your dishes. Buyers remorse is par, especially at this time of year. But I'm sorry it's hard.
I'm still not on east coast time despite never really being on pacific. Night owl hazards. Need to fix before Thursday morn.
Snoring ittle cat on my lap is really loud for her size. Bopped her nose in case she was congested and she just snorted louder.

The transition to a new job is always hard, but it will be worth it, Kat.
And msbelle, many sympathetic noises in your direction. We've been cracking the whip on Franny and it's been working but it's also been driving me crazy. le sigh. She got a C on her big math test and I have to say, just passing the dang thing was a relief. She was bummed she didn't get a higher grade.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Anyone else ever pay for an online purchase with Paypal, just so you don't have to get up and get your credit card?
I actually order online so much I know my credit card info by heart. Including expiration date and security code. It freaks DH out to listen to me order pizza on the phone when I recite the number.
